Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 2 cup yellow onions, finely chopped
- 2 cup carrots, peeled and chopped
- 6 parsley sprigs
- 5 cup chicken stock
- 3 cup to 4 cups of potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup fresh dill, chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cup to 3 cups of Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Melt butter in a soup pot. Add onions and carrots and cook over low heat, covered, until vegetables are tender and lightly colored, about 25 minutes.
- Add parsley, stock and potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 30 minutes.
- Add dill, remove soup from the heat, and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Pour soup through a stainer and transfer the solids to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or use a food mill fitted with a medium blade.
- Add 1 cup of the cooking stock and process until smooth. Return pureed soup to the pot and add additional cooking liquid, about 3-4 cups, until the soup reaches the desired consistency.
- Set over low heat, add salt and pepper to taste, and gradually stir in the grated cheese. When all the cheese is incorporated and the soup is hot (not boiling), serve immediately.
